CHAMBER, Mary P.
Death of Mrs. Mary P. Chamber
Our citizens will be pained to hear of the death of Mrs. Mary P. Chambers, wife of Dexter Chambers, and eldest daughter of the late Russel Parish, of this place. She died at Brooklyn on the 14th inst., from an over-dose of nux-vomica. We copy the following from a Brooklyn paper, giving the particulars of the sad occurrence: On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Mary P. Chambers, a lady of 35 years, died from an overdose of nux vomica, which is the medical term for what is popularly known as strychnine. It
seems that on the 12th instant, the deceased, who boards at No. 68 Pierrepont, corner of
Henry, st., a boarding house kept by a Mrs. Williams, received a prescription for
neuralgia from Dr. Reese who has an office at the number last named. It read:

Contrary to custom, in this case the prescription was written very plainly, so that there could be no mistake about putting it up or copying it except by the most egregious blundering. The prescription was taken to the drug store of H. H. Dickinson, corner of Atlantic and Henry streets, and there properly put up. The fifteen pills lasted several days, and in the meantime the husband of Mrs. Chambers has left for New England on business. Not long after her troublesome
neuralgia re-appearing, she sent to have the prescription, which was numbered 155,048 renewed. Unfortunate for all, he dropped in at the newer establishment of Mr. Dickinson, located at the corner of Montague and Hicks street. In those stores the proprietor, who has long been in the business in this city, claims to have reliable clerks to put up prescriptions, and the only excuse which they can offer for the present mistake is that it is simply unaccountable. Instead of directing the messenger
to the store where the prescription was originally put up, the clerk, probably anxious to
do business, and in accordance with custom, sent around to the original establishment for
a copy of the prescription.
The clerk who had originally put up the medicine copied the formula from the book in which prescriptions are posted for reference and safety, but just as it was done he blotted it so that the portions were indistinct. According to his own statement, while laughing and joking with the porter he recopied the prescription, making it read instead of one grain of nux vomica, one drachm, or sixty times as much as Dr. Reese had intended. He attributed his blunder to the fact that he had once copied the formula,
and the second time partially retained the proportions in his mind and the
character"drachm"being exactly above where he should have made the one us
ed by the physicians for"grain,"he copied it and sent the error to the other store.
This was about Tuesday noon last, and when the formula reached there, the clerk who was
to put it up noticed that it was an unusual formula and finally consulted Mr. Dickinson
in his private room, saying:"is not this a heavy dose"
The proprietor looked at it, and as he states, said,"Yes don't put it up until you have sent around to the other store to see whether it is right."This caution was equivalent to an order but the young man saw fit to disobey it, and by this palpable disobedience sent into eternity a very estimable woman. During the afternoon the mistaken prescription was put up and sent to Mo. 63 Pierrepont street. There was still a chance for Mrs. Chambers, to save her life, if she had noticed the
difference
in the size of the pills sent, the latter being much larger than the former. Trusting to
the doctor and apothecary, however, she took one pill as directed, and at the time she
should have repeated the dose, was undergoing those muscular contortions attendant on
death by strychnine. In the course of the evening she died, having taken four drachms, or
two hundred and forty grains of a poison rarely prescribed in doses exceeding one eighth
part of a grain. The proportions of this mistake are astounding.
Later, on the Coroner's inquest, Mrs. Parish testified, that she was the mother of the
deceased, and that the medicine was procured at the store of Mr. Dickenson. Her daughter
refused at first to take the pills, as they were so much larger than those she had taken
before, and were also soft. She finally took one, and when witness again visited her she
found her in convulsions. [Lewis County Democrat (Lowville, NY) -Wednesday, May 22,
